Transfers (Waterslide) GWR/BR from Kits PS30-32)

0 Gauge Chassis kits and Accessories for scratchbuilders and kit modification. This pack contains sufficient components to assemble four pairs of 3- link couplings. Three-link chain couplings, with no means of drawing the wagons together, were used to form the peculiarly British "loose coupled" freight train: since such trains were not fitted with an automatic through-train braking system there were no pipes to connect between the vehicles. Control of the train was assisted by the guard's van at the rear of the train, or in certain cases a series of vans spaced along the train, which kept the couplings taut and therefore also helped prevent snapped couplings. Such trains travelled at low speeds and were finally phased out in the 1970s.

Kit and Scratch builder's accessory. Pack contains sufficient parts for 2 pairs of Couplings. The "Instanter" coupling is a development of the standard 3 link coupling. The middle link of the chain is specially shaped so that when lying flat it provides enough slack to make coupling possible, but when this middle link is rotated 90 degrees the length of the chain is effectively shortened, reducing the amount of slack to provide closer coupling, to allow the use of train brake pipes without the need to wind a screw. It can also be coupled from the side of the wagons using a shunter's pole; much safer than having to go between vehicles when coupling them together.

0 Gauge Chassis kits and Accessories for scratchbuilders and kit modification. This pack contains a pair of metal pin point axles plus bearings, and 3 hole disc wheels featuring free running metal rims on moulded centres.

Plastic Kit of typical vehicle based on the Welsh narrow gauge stock from the heyday of the slate traffic era. (Couplings, paint and transfers not included).

0-16.5 Coach parts to enable the OR-31 and OR-32 Coach kits to be customised; also for scratch-building projects.

These coach kits comprise chassis components, sides, ends, roof ,duckets, buffers, wheels as illustrated. These versatile kits can be built with or without the guards compartment. 3 body kits could be combined to create a longer bogie coach (bogies not supplied). Supplied in Green livery (couplings, paint, transfers not included).
